![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
My remote key batteries seem to be going out and so I called the dealer they said I might need to reprogram the key after I change the battery. Is that true? I dont want to go buy the batteries then my car doesnt respond to the key and then I'm stuck at walgreens or something.
And I dont have my manual on me for me the check this out right now

BTW, it's safer to just not lock the car at Walgreens. That way you won't involve the anti-theft system.
The batteries are CR2025.

2) Use the business end of the mechanical key to slide a little gray block that you just exposed towards the center. The central portion of the key will release and move out a fraction of an inch.
3) Pull out the central portion from the key body with your fingernail.
4)The two batteries are held in with a retainer that runs crossways across them. The retainer is held in by a little tab. Use a paperclip to compress the tab and the retainer will lift free, allowing you to replace the batteries. Same position of course and clean them of fingerprints with a clean cloth before inserting them, handling them by the cloth.
5)Clip the retainer back and reinsert the central portion into the key. Reinsert the mechanical key.

200 bucks for a new key! The batteries wouldn't come out and the stealership said I needed a new key because the battery slit was jammed! But at least they gave me the updated chrome style remote key.

175 was the quote i got. Yeah, it's insane. It's pissing the hell out of me. As if it wasn't bad enough that one dealership lied to me and told me there was no other dealership in the city. *******s.
